Is anyone going to Jax river jams?

I’m looking at furthering my wine education. Should I take a wine making course or a somm-type tasting course first? Wondering if the order of one before the other would help build better foundation.

So I finally got around to watching the Bear. Thoughts? They did get the frantic element right and the little details. But my family at Thanksgiving all seemed to think it was basically a documentary

Anyone listening to the podcast “Dr. Death”? Both fascinating and horrifying...

Husband and I usually get hello fresh for meals, but we forgot to unskip this week, and now have no meals prepped or planned for the week. When this happens we usually order takeout every night and that’s unhealthy and expensive. Any ideas for meal prepping? Or quick healthy meals/grocery list?

Any suggestions on good books on consulting for reading during holidays

It's time for spring fertilizer! Houseplants will be coming out of dormancy now that the days are getting longer. Now is a great time to top off soil, prune if needed and fertilize. Repotting in April

Hello Telugu fishes, Mi bowl leader ikkada. Enti sangatulu?

I've been working as a host for an expensive restaurant for a year. Considering how much a dish costs here, I don't understand why we can't be paid well instead of having to rely on tips to survive.

Bought my first club set online (used to rent) and I was bending a lot more than usual. Stopped by PGA store and found out I need 1” long clubs, so I returned my set and am on the lookout for new clubs. Any advice for 1” long beginner sets? Don’t seem to see that many online and there wasn’t much choice at the store…

Primarily remote roles

Last week team dynamics took a turn for the worst (even tho in each retro the team always commend each other, you would think team work is great). Team members get agitated with each other for being slow. Team members coming across rude and brash (the same ones are difficult to get hold to offer support, time is money is what someone said💰, the craziest was the client accidently sharing her whatsapp screen, commenting on people's feedback to what she was presenting OMG 😲 How was your week?

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Just realized it's not Friday ☹️

How’s BFG lookin these days?

I went through all the stages of interviewing with a firm then they chose not to fill the position. They said internal priorities changed. I saw about 5 months later they posted a similar position. Guess who has another interview!

Does anyone know how litigation finance works on the plaintiff side? If someone wanted to bring a lawsuit against their former employer would a general contingency arrangement with a plaintiff’s firm make sense? Or would one need to find funding and then contact a plaintiff’s firm to actually handle the case? I’m a transactional lawyer, so this is out of my wheelhouse.

Veterinary clinical pathologists-- What do you love about your job, and what do you dislike?

Is at home service still as popular as it was during the pandemic?

I have 200k in HYS. Currently have 1k in BTC. Id like to start DCA to diversify my investments. How do you recommend this? Should I buy a bunch outright and then start investing 5-10% of each paycheck?

The job search is so nerve wrecking.

Hello! Anyone work at GE Healthcare?

I have a consulting/PE interview on Friday, please recommend consulting books or sites to read. Need to speak consulting language

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

When you hear that staff 1s we're just laid off... 😳

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

To those that just graduated recently, which consulting firms are the most sought-after during recruiting? Curious to see how the landscape has changed since I was in school.

I’m considering taking an internal consultant role at a large healthcare company. I’m unsure if healthcare is the industry I want to be in. Would I be pigeonholing myself into that industry?
